- Description
- J&A Francis E. Walter Dam, is located on the Lehigh River above the borough of White Haven, PA. It is constructed as an earthen embankment dam with an outlet works that consists of an approach channel, intake tower, conduit, outlet structure, and outlet channel. Three intake conduits draw water through the tower and merge into the main conduit section and out through the outlet structure. The intake conduits are each controlled by two (2) sluice gates, one service and one emergency, for a total of six (6). Each of the sluice gates is a 10'-5 ¾" high by 6'-8" wide cast steel structure, constructed in 1956 and made of Grade 65-30 steel. The gates are composed of non-redundant steel members that would result in gate failure if they were to fracture; therefore, they are considered fracture critical. As such, each of the six gates requires an initial inspection per requirements of ER 1110-2-8157 Responsibility for Hydraulic Steel Structures (HSS). The purpose of an initial inspection is to ensure that the gate was fabricated without discontinuities that would be susceptible to fracture. The gates are composed of closed box sections that are cast steel and due to the gate configuration and material, non-destructive testing (NDT) is required to determine whether or not there are detrimental internal or surface discontinuities. To inspect for internal discontinuities, the most practical method that is likely to provide sufficient results is Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT).
